    This forgotten film by David Lean is one of his most beautiful, cinematography-wise, as well as one of his most romantic.

    A rare misfire from a master. RYAN'S DAUGHTER, arguably David Lean's weakest film, is a self-indulgent mess; shot wonderfully but weak story and character wise. It tested my patience due to it's overlength (the version I saw was 206 minutes, but the theatrical version isn't much shorter), and after a while it was hard to care about what was going on. But did I mention the gorgeous cinematography?

    What a great movie...I just loved the whole infedility scene with the solider and the amazing scenaries... It was so sinful yet so delightful and painful with fantical elements.

    So very very long, and so very beautiful. The kind that leaves a lump of awe in your stomach after watching. The dazzling imagery make me want to visit Ireland - it works better than the adverts.

    I know that many people hate this film, but although I don't precisely find it great, it isn't half bad either. Lean sure knew how to make this look spectacular, and though some complain the size of Nature diminishes the characters, I thought it served as more than good companion to them, expressing their feelings and closing in around them. The acting was just fine, though Sarah Miles I found not appropiate for the leading role. "Ryan's Daughter" is neither horrible nor a masterpiece, but it's sure worth watching more than a couple times.

    David Lean's masterpiece.Get out the hankies girls,you'll love the story. John Mills gives a brilliant acting performance & is hardly reckonisable in his role. 2 stars only.

    Ryan's Daughter, like any other David Lean film is beautiful and epic. But it also drags at points--probably more so than Lean's other films. If you're a fan of Lean's other work I'd recommend it.

    A lovely film set in Ireland during world war one, It has very scenic views of the coast, well worth watching.with Robert Mitchem as a school teacher and John Mills plays a brilliant village idiot.

    A brilliant spectacle of Ireland during World War I and a stylish love story to boot as only director David Lean could bring it. This was a grand spectacle of the big-budget films of the 1960's and early 1970's that was filmed in "Super Panavision 70" as it was meant to be seen.
